A  GEAND  NATIONAL  EXHIBITION  OF  STOCK— 
Cattle,  Hokses,  Sheep  and  Swine — open  to  competition  to 
all  the  States  of  the  Union,  and  to  the  British  Provinces,  will 
be  held  by  the  United  States  Agricultural  Society,  in 
the  City  of  BOSTON,  on  Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thursday, 
Friday  and  Saturday,  Oct.  23d,  24th,  25th,  26th  and  27th. 

The  City  of  Boston  has  generously  granted  to  the  Soci- 
ety, for  present  use,  a  fine  public  square  of  fifty  acres,  at 
the  South  End,  bounded  by  Harrison  Avenue,  Chester,  Al- 
bany and  Brookline  Streets.  Twenty  Thousand  Dollars 
have  been  guaranteed  by  patriotic  gentlemen  of  Boston  and 
its  vicinity  to  defray  the  expenses ;  and  ten  thousand  dol- 
lars will  be  ofiered  in  Premiums,  in  the  various  depart- 
ments. 

The  previous  Exhibitions  of  this  Society — at  Springfield, 
Mass.,  in  1853,  and  at  Springfield,  Ohio,  in  1854 — were  emi- 
nently successful,  and  no   efforts  will  be   spared  to  make  the. 
present  Show,  combining,  as  it  does,  the  Four  Great  Depart- 
ments of  Farming  Stock,  superior  to  its  predecessors. 


The  Premium  List,  witli  the  Rules  of  the  Exhibition,  and 
all  requued  information,  will  be  furnished,  by  addressing  the 
Secretary,  at  his  office.  No.  292  Washington  street,  Boston. 

It  is  earnestly  hoped  that  all  Breeders,  and  owners  of  Fine 
Stock,  will  feel  it  to  be  a  duty,  as  it  certainly  is  for  their 
interest,  to  contribute  to  the  Show. 

The  List  of  Entries,  Exhibitors,  and  Award  of  Premiums, 
and  all  the  proceedings  of  the  Exhibition,  will  be  published 
in  the  Journal  of  the  Society,  for  1855.  Annual  Members 
of  the  Society,  who  desire  to  receive  the  Journal,  should 
remember  to  renew  their  subscriptions.

THIRD   NATIONAL  EXHIBITION 


OF     THE 


Unto  States  g^grimlhiral  ^m% 

AT      BOSTON, 
OCTOBER  23d,  24th,  25th,  26th,  and  27th.  1855, 


GENERAL    ARRANGEMENTS. 

The  Show  Grounds  are  located  on  Harrison  Avenue, 
(which  runs  parallel  to  Washington  Street,)  about  one  mile 
from  the  head  of  State  Street.  Omnibuses,  furnished  with 
flags  for  the  occasion,  will  convey  passengers,  at  a  charge  of 
six  cents. 

The  gates  will  be  opened  for  the  admission  of  the  public, 
on  Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thursday,  Friday,  and  Saturday, 
the  23d,  24th,  25th,  26th,  and  27th,  from  8  A.  M.  until  sun- 
down, of  each  day. 

The  Marshals  and  the  Superintendents  of  the  various 
classes  will  meet  at  the  President's  Marquee,  at  8  o'clock  A. 
M.,  on  Tuesday,  23d,  to  perfect  arrangements  for  the  day. 

SUPERINTENDENTS, 

The  Superintendents  are  required  to  take  particular  charge 
of  all  animals  in  their  respective  departments,  and  see  that 


8 

they  are  arranged,  as  near  as  may  be,  in  numerical  order,  for 
easy  approach  and  examination. 

A  Superintendent  will  accompany  each  set  of  Judges,  and 
point  out  the  different  animals  to  be  exhibited.  They  will 
also  see  that  the  animals  are  provided  with  halters,  and  euita- 
bly  arranged  for  the  exhibition  of  each  day. 

THE    JUDGES. 

The  Judges  are  requested  to  report  themselves  at  the  busi- 
ness office  of  the  Secretary,  on  the  north-west  corner  of  the 
grounds,  (corner  of  Harrison  Avenue  and  Brookline  Streets,) 
where  cards  of  admission,  etc.,  etc.,  will  be  furnished  to  them. 

Vacancies  will  be  filled  by  the  Executive  Committee,  at  1 
o'clock,  at  the  Committee  Rooms,  on  Tuesday,  when  the 
books  of  entries  will  be  delivered. 

The  Judges,  IMarshals,  Superintendents,  and  Invited 
Guesls,  will  dine  with  the  Officers  of  the  Society,  daily,  at  1 
o'clock,  at  the  Committee  Room  building,  on  the  north-east 
corner  of  the  grounds. 

The  Judges  will,  at  their  discretion,  appoint  a  time  for  the 
exami?uition  of  animals  in  their  stalls,  of  which  due  notice  will 
be  given,  through  the  Superintendents,  to  exhibitors  ;  the 
cxliibition,  in  the  cattle  rings  oi;  on  the  track,  will  take  place 
punctually  at  the  hours  hereinafter  specified. 

The  Judges  will  report  not  only  the  animals  entitled  to 
premiums,  but  also  those  next  in  merit,  in  each  class,  to 
meet  the  contingency  of  any  objection  which  may  arise  to  the 
awards,  and  also  that  they  may  receive  suitable  commenda,- 
tion.  Any  animal  which,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Judges, 
deserves  a  special  commendation,  will  be  so  reported  to  the 
Executive  Committee. 

Discretionary  Premiums  may  be  awarded  with  the  previous 
permission  of  the  Executive  Committee,  expressed  through 
the  Secretary. 

Regard  will  be  had  to  the  purity  of  blood,  as  established 


"by  pedigree,  symmetry,  size,  and  general  characteristics  of 
the  several  breeds  ;  and  the  Judges  will  make  proper  allow- 
ance for  age,  feeding,  and  other  circumstances.  They  are 
expressly  required  not  to  give  encouragement  to  over-fed  ani- 
mals in  the  breeding  classes. 

If  not  satisfied  as  to  the  regularity  of  the  entries  in  their 
respective  classes,  they  will  apply  to  the  Secretary  for  infor- 
mation ;  and,  should  there  still  be  any  doubt,  after  examination, 
or,  if  any  animal  is  of  such  a  character  as  not  to  be  entitled 
to  exhibition  in  competition,  they  will  report  the  facts  to  the 
Secretary,  for  the  consideration  of  the  Executive  Committee, 
that  such  course  may  be  adopted  as  the  case  may  require. 

No  person  who  is  an  exhibitor  can  act  as  a  Judge  on  the 
class  in  which  he  exhibits.  And,  during  the  examinations 
of  the  Judges,  if  any  person  interferes  with  them,  by  letter 
or  otherwise,  he  will  be  excluded  from  the  competition.  But 
exhibitors,  when  requested,  are  expected  to  make  verbal  or 
written  statements  concerning  their  stock. 

As  one  great  object  of  the  Society  is  to  collect  valuable  in- 
formation upon  the  subject-matter  of  the  exhibition,  the  sev- 
eral committees  are  requested  to  gather  all  the  information 
possible  from  exhibitors  in  their  classes,  and  to  make  their 
reports  as  full  as  time  and  circumstances  will  permit. 

When  there  is  but  one  exhibitor,  although  he  may  show 
several  animals  in  the  same  class  and  order,  only  one  pre- 
mium will  be  awarded  ;  that  to  be  first  or  otherwise,  as  the 
merits  of  the  animal  may  be  adjudged  ;  and  when  the  ani- 
mal is  not  deemed  worthy  of  a  premium,  the  judges  will,  at 
their  discretion,  withhold  it.  An  animal  entered  for  exhibition 
in  one  class  cannot  compete  for  premium  in  any  other,  but 
cattle  in  other  classes  are  not  prohibited  from  competing  for 
the  Herd  Premium. 

The  Reports  of  the  Judges,  (except  on  the  trial  of  trotting 
horses,  on  Friday  and  Saturday  mornings,)  must  be  handed  to 
the  Secretary  on  Thursday  afternoon,  that  Diplomas  may  be 
prepared,  in  season,  for  the  successful  competitors. 


10 

The  awards  will  be  announced  at  the  Banquet,  on  Fiiday 
afternoon;  and  Judges  are  requested  not  to  declare  their 
decisions  previously,  except  on  the  trials  of  speed. 

The  Reports  of  Judges  will  be  published  in  the  Journal  of 
the  United  States  Agricultural  Society,  which  is  furnished  to 
all  members  of  the  Society,  without  other  expense  than  postage. 

EXHIBITORS. 

Entries  of  stock  may  be  made  at  the  office  of  the  Secretary, 
on  the  grounds,  until  9  o'clock,  A.  M.,  on  Tuesday,  when  the 
books  will  be  closed. 

The  exhibition  of  stock  in  the  rings  and  on  the  track  will 
take  place  precisely  at  the  times  specified  in  the  subjoined  ar- 
rangement ;  and  animals  not  prepared  at  the  proper  time  and 
place,  may,  at  the  discretion  of  the  Judges,  be  ruled  out  of 
competition. 

Stock  will  be  marked  with  cards  furnished  by  the  Secretary , 
designating  the  class  and  No.  of  entry ;  and  during  the  exhi- 
bition, stock  must  be  placed  entirely  under  the  management 
of  the  Officers  of  the  Society. 

Authentic  pedigrees  of  Blood  Stock  of  all  kinds  will  be 
required. 

Arrangements  will  be  made  for  the  trial  of  di-aught  horses 
and  oxen,  by  testing  their  strength,  docility,  etc.,  at  a  load. 

A  half-mile  track,  (measuring  from  the  middle  of  the  track,) 
for  the  trial  of  horses,  has  been  prepared,  and  commodious 
seats  for  spectators  are  furnished  at  a  small  charge. 

No  horse  will  be  allowed  a  premium  unless  he  be  sound. 

For  any  exhibitors  who  may  wish  to  dispose  of  their  stock, 
the  services  of  an  auctioneer  has  been  secured,  and  the  use  of 
the  grounds  given  for  Saturday,  at  2  o'clock,  P.  M.,  and  the 
Secretary  will  give  notice  of  such  sale  if  entry  is  made  with 
him  to  that  effect. 

The  Executive  Committee  will  take  every  possible  precau- 
tion for  the  safe  keeping  of  Stock  on  Exhibition,  after  its 


11 

arrival  and  arrangement  upon  the  grounds,  but  will  not  be 
responsible  for  any  damage  that  may  occur.  They  desire  ex- 
hibitors to  give  personal  attention  to  their  animals,  and^  at  the 
close  of  the  Fair,  to  attend  to  their  removal. 

Exhibitors  must  see  to  the  delivery  of  their  animals  upon 
the  Show  Grounds  ;  and  the  Society  cannot,  in  any  case,  make 
provision  for  their  transportation,  or  be  subjected  to  any  ex- 
pense therefor,  either  in  their  delivery  at  or  return  from  the 
grounds  ;  but  all  the  expenses  connected  therewith  must,  as 
heretofore,  be  provided  for  by  the  exhibitors. 

For  the  convenience  of  exhibitors,  stalls  and  covering  will 
be  provided  for  the  Stock  ;  and  forage,  consisting  of  hay  and 
straw  (for  litter),  with  water,  will  be  supplied  without  charge  ; 
so  that  animals,  on  their  arrival,  may  be  driven  to  the  Show 
Grounds,  and  need  not  be  removed  till  the  Exhibition  is 
closed.  Grain  will  be  furnished  for  Swine.  Grain  for  other 
Stock  will  also  be  upon  the  Ground,  and  will  be  furnished  to 
those  who  desii'e  it  at  the  market  price. 

EAILROAD    ARRANGEMENT. 

Arrangements  have  been  effected  for  the  return  of  such 
stock  as  may  be  exhibited,  free  of  exi^ense,  over  the  following 
railroads :  To  New  York  by  all  the  routes.  Over  the  New 
York  and  Erie.  To  Chicago,  via  Albany,  Suspension  Bridge 
and  Detroit.  Also  over  the  Connecticut  River  ;  Fitchburg  ; 
Vermont  and  Massachusetts  ;  Cheshire  ;  Rutland  and  Burling-
